1. Micro Vickers hardness tester is a new type of hardness tester that combines precision machinery and photoelectric computer software. It can be used for Vickers or Knoop hardness testing. By inputting the measured diagonal values into an integrated calculator, the hardness value can be calculated.
2. The micro Vickers hardness tester is suitable for testing metal materials, including small parts, thin plates, metal foils, high-quality wires, thin hardened layers, and electroplated layers. It can also be used to test non-metallic materials such as glass, jewelry, and ceramics that cannot be tested with other relatively large test forces. Especially, it can follow the structure of metals and test the internal hardness of materials such as induction hardening or carburizing.
3. Hardness testing is divided into two parts: the first part is to drive a diamond indenter with a known size of test force and press it into the surface of the tested material. The second part is for the user to measure the diagonal length of the indentation, input the measured data into the host, and the host calculates the corresponding Vickers or Knoop hardness value.
The difference between Vickers and Knoop hardness tests lies in the use of different indenters. The Vickers indenter is a pyramid shaped indenter with a square base, while the Nusselt indenter is a pyramid shaped indenter with a diamond base. In addition, the Vickers test requires measuring two diagonals, while the Knoop test only requires measuring one diagonal.
